What Inflexion Point Technologies does

Inflexion Point Technologies, doing business as InflexionAg, is a private Urbandale, Iowa-based ag-tech company that has developed POP-ST™ (Prescriptive On-Planter Seed Treater), a metered micro-dosing hardware platform that applies seed treatments in real time during planting. The system uses separate treatment containers with independent flow paths per row, managed by onboard controllers, enabling growers to match seed-applied products — including biologicals, crop protection, nutrients, and other seed-applied technologies — and their rates to grower-defined management zones (by soil type, yield potential, hybrid/variety, pest pressure, disease risk, or nutrient need) and to change treatments in real time in the field. The company claims 100% seed treatment delivery to every seed and elimination of dust-off, positioning POP-ST™ as a complement to — rather than a replacement for — existing pre-plant seed treatment programs.

The company's go-to-market is channel-first: POP-ST™ is sold to growers through agricultural dealers and equipment partners (with both retrofit pathways for existing planters and OEM integration pathways for new equipment), supplemented by direct website inquiries. Beyond direct hardware sales, InflexionAg monetizes the platform through partnerships with seed companies, seed-treatment providers, and biologics/input companies, who use POP-ST™ as a deployment route for sensitive, low-use-rate, or zone-specific products. Pricing is quotation-based and not publicly disclosed; multi-year contracts are referenced.

The company is at an early commercialization stage following a 10-year development arc: founded in 2015, with working prototype in 2018, three patent applications (2015, 2020, 2023), field trials from 2022, independent lab confirmation of best-in-industry row-to-row variability in Spring 2025, and a Fall 2025 strategic commercialization agreement with precision-ag equipment leader TeeJet. Headcount is 1-10, total disclosed funding is $25,000 (Iowa Economic Development Authority, 2020), and no revenue has been disclosed. Leadership comprises CEO Nick Iwig (prior roles at DuPont Pioneer, Wyffels Hybrids, AgReliant Genetics, Malteurop/Anheuser-Busch, and Aginnovation), COO and partner Chris Storey (JD from NYU Law), and CDO and partner Stacy Unruh (former founder/owner of Seed Research Equipment Solutions).

Revenue model

1. POP-ST™ Hardware Platform Sales: InflexionAg generates revenue through the sale of POP-ST™ hardware systems, including the treatment cabinet, controllers, extraction tubes, and associated components. The system is sold to growers directly or through channel partners (dealers, equipment partners) and can be retrofitted to existing planters or integrated as OEM equipment on new planters.
2. Prescriptive Seed Treatment Products: The company facilitates the deployment of seed-applied biologicals, crop protection, nutrients, and other technologies through its POP-ST™ platform, creating revenue opportunities through partnerships with seed companies, biologics companies, and input providers who leverage the platform for product deployment.

Core offering

Inflexion Point Technologies (operating as InflexionAg) designs, manufactures, and sells POP-ST™, a Prescriptive On-Planter Seed Treater — a metered micro-dosing hardware platform retrofitted or OEM-integrated onto agricultural planters that applies seed treatments in real time at planting. The system delivers 100% of the treatment to each seed with zero dust-off, enabling zone-based, variable-rate application of biologicals, crop protection products, nutrients, and other seed-applied technologies.

Product overview

Inflexion Point Technologies (InflexionAg) offers a single core product: POP-ST™ (Prescriptive On-Planter Seed Treater). This is a transformative on-planter technology that enables real-time, prescriptive seed treatment application during planting. POP-ST™ complements existing seed treatment programs by providing farmers with precision zone control, allowing targeted application of biologicals, crop protection, nutrients, and other seed-applied technologies directly to each seed as it is planted.
